“ Hi” Lena raised a hand awkwardly and slightly dropped her foot down while Angela switched on the light.

“ Mother Mary just sneaked into the apartment for the first time in her life how awesome will this fit the news headlines?”

“ You slept with him last night or you slept at his place?” Vera raises an eyebrow.

“ Sleep at his place just like that? Will a guy allow you sleep in his place without a nice thrust in your Vj?” Angela Exclaimed

“ It's possible!” Vera pushed.

“ It's not, not in this day and age things had changed!” Mabel sat up comfortably, points at a chair opposite them and Lena sat up giving an awkward smile.

“ I could feel how shameful you are Lena who would think the most conservative one among us would have a wild night with a stranger she just met!”

“ You all said he isn't a stranger right?”

“ He is to you!!” Angela snapped, Lena swallowed hard lowering her head.

“ Enough with the awful treatment she is bound to let loose one day and have it rough so it isn't a crime” Vera dragged her seat forward, “ how was it?” She winked at Lena who placed both hands on her face grinning.

“ Wow she's shy then it was….

“ Nice!” Lena completed the statement, “ I know you all would accuse me of doing something out of selve but still all I can say is I needed a quick fix that moment and Jayden showed up as the perfect fit for it and he delivered, and I would say that's what matters”

“And he did just that, by hitting your spot right? ” Angela asked and there laughed but Lena nodded staring behind them. “ Yes!”

“ Wait why the long look?” Vera asked after laughing.

“ Nothing!”

“ So is there going to be a next time?”

“ Nah…” she shaked her head slowly gaining the curious attention of her friends who had momentarily enjoyed the gist.

“ Why?”

“ He’ll be leaving the country soon and that's it, The end!”

“ What? Just like that? But why? It hasn't been made public yet that he's leaving the country like….”

“ Maybe it's a private thing!”

“ So that's why there came over to band Bustin last night to enjoy his last days in Greenville, oh dear I know how that might feel. You feel disappointed right?” Mabel asked and Lena smiled awkwardly again.

“ Don't tell me you fell for him already?” Angela pressed.

“ Can we end this topic?” Lena sighed, “It's getting overwhelming already!” she blinked her eyes severally stopping the tears from flowing out.

For the first time in forever Lena wanted her own person, her own lover the right person for her, the one who would never let her go like Diego did but as it seems now the only person who was best for that would be leaving the country and it was obvious she shouldn't push it and just let it go!

“ What will you do now?”

“ Nothing!” She chuckled, “ just moved on like I did with Diego at least it's best!”

“ But you haven't moved on with Diego’s and this had just made it worse!”

“ It really didn't made it worse, it made it a little better! At least I forgot all about Diego last night with Jayden.” She smiled despite the sparkles in her eyes dimming.

“ Are you okay?” Vera stood up to pat her and she sniffled. “ I’ll be fine I always have!”

She stood up and head into her room closing the door shut with a tiny bang, lay on her bed staring at the ceiling, Jayden made her feel what she hasn't felt in years although it sounded wrong it felt so right at the same time. Her mind flashed back to Diego and Olivia at the club last night, the way they acted last night all lovey dovey unlike last night it didn't hurt that much anymore. She stood up, walked into the shower and had her bath, bathing off Jayden's scent and smell while staring at his white sleeve.

Feeling hungry she head to the kitchen and had breakfast. Walked back Into the living room to see Angela on live and avoided getting caught in her video. But Angela signaled to her she was caught in her live video and she rolled her eyes and head back inside.

An hour later

A bang on her door waked her up and Lena opened the door to see Vera with lots of stuffs, “it's weekend and that screams free day lets enjoy it!” She dragged Lena to the back of the house while the others followed. Lena was shocked to see the garden all set up as a day date and she knew the girls did all that to make her happy.

With everything set there enjoyed their selves drinking, dinning and Angela handed Lena a pill, “ I know it's your first time, but you need this!”

“ What's it for?”

“ A contraceptive to avoid being a single mom” she winked at Lena who nodded and quickly swallowed it whole. After the day fun seeing how hot the sun was, there all head back inside, settled in and Lena got a message. Gave it a click and it reads.

“ Ms.Taylor your sick leave is over and you need to report at work on Monday failure to do so will result in a permanent consequences” Seeing this she sighed and leaned back on her chair.

“ What?” Mabel asked sensing her discomfort.

“ I just got a message that my sick leave was over failure to report at work on Monday would lead to a permanent consequences just as stated on the text”

“ That's harsh!”

“ That's how private airline Companies works!” Angela took a sip of her wine.

A sudden call came in and Lena glanced at the caller Id then pushed the phone aside after declining

“ Why? Is it Jayden?” Angela asked sitting up right.

“ No, it’s my mom”

“ Oh, what do you think she has to say?” Mabel asked.

“ Words about my failed relationship with Diego!”
